I've said it before, but one of Sully's most valuable attributes is his ability to wriggle in and out of the innards of machines. Though it's not all positives. It's hard to keep him consistently focused if I can't see where he's ferreted off to. Artwork by @elvirarecrud.bsky.social
I know Theia isn't one of my more popular OCs, but I like her. She has a certain verve that joins up my circuits. I can't quite put my finger on what it is. It's either a total and reckless disregard for the laws of nature, or hair envy. Artwork by @elvirarecrud.bsky.social
To answer your question: yes, Roxanne is capable of recognizing that the leaves are food, even though neither they nor she are attached to a tree. No, she does not appreciate that you found her a snack. All things being equal she'd rather have a fish taco. Artwork by @gatorpond.bsky.social
They didn't all become best friends immediately, however. At some point Sully happened to mention to Maurice that he was thinking about setting up a chicken coop back at the Burrow garden and *somebody* didn't take kindly to the concept of a ferret guarding the henhouse. Artwork by @kendraws.art
The evening ended with the gifting of a plushie. Except it wasn't a stingray. And neither of us were wearing dresses. And I'm less "a koala" than an oscillating superposition of mammalian eigenstates, but that distinction is only relevant if you're trying to build an Emmet detector. (Please don't.)
I still remember the evening I shared with @hermux.bsky.social at the aquarium. I held my breath for SO long! I still don't why the employees didn't try to fish us out, but maybe that's because she looked like she belonged there. (They had otters. She's an otter.) Artwork by @ktvsn.bsky.social
On this side of the divide, Riley is King. You remembered to bring him something, didn't you? Oh who am I kidding. You've probably already brought him lots of things. And he's more than willing to share his wealth if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. Lockscreen by @skiaskai.bsky.social!
I enjoyed my time in Pittsburgh but they should have censored this building.
The Bluesky lists I'm being added to lately have a certain unsettling quality to them.
This sketch of Roxanne is the first time I've seen a character of mine drawn in front of me (at AC). I'm glad it got to be her! (Speaking for myself. Speaking for Emmet, I think she should go comb her ears for once.) Art by Brian Reynolds, as requested by my significant otter @hermux.bsky.social!
I never posted this one here, did I. Artwork by @ktvsn.bsky.social.
You heard it, and the rumors are true! I'm a koala now (part-time, thanks to furry science) and @hermux.bsky.social and I are gonna paint the town all sorts of colors. Just try and stop us. 🐨❤️🦦
Chuck works hard. You better BELIEVE he plays hard. With his kids. Helping them build legos and teaching them to ride their bikes. This is how he looks when he picks them up from soccer practice by the way. He's a family man—a real daddy. By which I mean he's a father. 🎨 by @akarugon.bsky.social
Valerie and I have an arrangement: she doesn't ask where I get the parts for her gizmos, I don't ask about the dirty work she may or may not do with them. It's a shame, because I could use her action poses in advertisements. If we were in business together. Artwork by @krysiilys.bsky.social!
Of course Victor was around in Ancient Rome. So were the barbarian ancestors of a certain ferret. "Sullius" was sold to him as trained in rhetoric, but the speech he wrote is barely legible, let alone worthy of reading before the Senate. Oh well. Caveat emptor. Artwork by @baddieholly.bsky.social
Spencer has relocated his practice more times than he can count at this point. Due to the mishaps. Yes, we'll call them that. Mishaps. For a dodo who (in theory) wants to be famous for his miracle cures, he's certainly lucky he knows how to keep a low profile. Lockscreen by @skiaskai.bsky.social!
Bonus sketch of the exiled fossa, the strangely colored sheep and his gift of strangely colored plant clippings. (Same artist.)
I bet you didn't expect these two would be a couple. And that's because they're not. Yet. But I have access to Time. I arrange the ends. I can give Maurice feelings for Mina (provided I trap her in this timestream first, of course). Look—the flowers are even purple. Artwork by @ktvsn.bsky.social!
Any Emmet fursuit I end up getting will necessarily not come with a Sully, so I got this ferret pouch to hold the things I'd normally keep inside Sully, like my sins
Today I received two of my certifications. A third is being generated. Just for me.
Faergi is my spirit animal. Literally. If you should wake up on the astral plane after one of his parties, count your blessings and check to see whether there's a silver cord behind you. If not, one of his friends may know where it got off to. Expression sheet by @krysiilys.bsky.social
I guess I'm fond of Guillermo because he's a "bad guy henchman" who's not a bad guy himself. He's just henching to make ends meet, really. Were you aware that "henchman" comes from the Old English "hengestmann", literally meaning "horseman"? Now you know. Artwork by @daggerleonelli.bsky.social
The movie "Backrooms" appeals to me, because one of my main hobbies involves describing a wombat to people who have never seen one, and then asking them to draw it. Additionally the wombat is turning into a pirate.
Do not be fooled by his pinchable cheeks or the fact that he squawks when you give them a squeeze. Spencer's a doctor of dastardly deeds and his cures tend to make you prefer the disease. Ref sheet of a dodo who thought "first do no harm" sounded like a *challenge*—by @bleydhdu.bsky.social!
It was sparse, desolate country. Miles of sun-bleached rock punctuated by wicked crevices and forlorn gullies—hiding places for outlaws and thieves; for the lost and the damned. Inigo found it best not to linger, but even better not to rush. Artwork by @wolkannis.bsky.social
Friday afternoon is a dangerous time at the Burrow. That's when the Boss starts making his rounds, looking for a certain employee to invite to an exciting weekend of "pay-optional overtime." But what Emmet can't see he can't make come in on Saturday. Artwork by @eligecos.bsky.social!
